5.2.1  Mounting 

 

The UUT can be attached directly to the shaker head using a 1/4-28 stud.  
Adaptor studs and plates are available for mounting sensors with different size 
mounting threads. See Table 2 below. 
 

NOTE: 

The stud or adaptor plate should be mounted finger tight only, not 

exceeding 10 in-lb (112 N-cm) into the shaker head.  Exceeding the 
maximum torque may damage the shaker. It is recommended to use the 
open end wrench when mounting sensors to stabilize the shaker 
armature.

A specially designed angular plate is available for calibrating the 993B-7-M12 triaxial 
accelerometer. This plate will excite all three axes simultaneously resulting in 0.57 g per 
axis. See section 6.0.  

 

5.2.2  Power ON/OFF

 

 

Turns on the shaker for approximately 90 seconds.  The unit will default to the previously selected 
options. To defeat the auto shutoff feature and enable continuous operation, hold down the 

FREQ

 

button while turning the unit on. All three frequency LEDs will briefly illuminate to indicate the shaker 
is in CONTINUOUS operating mode.  The unit will now operate until the 

ON/OFF

 button is pressed 

again.  When the unit is turned off, it will revert to the AUTO-OFF mode.
